Here's how Ron and Hermione's family looks 9 years after the 'Harry Potter' books

"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" — a new play from J.K. Rowling featuring the characters of "Harry Potter" 19 years after the events of the books took place — premieres in London on June 7. Ahead of the theatrical debut, a series of portraits by Charlie Gray have been released. 

Fans have already seen the new versions of Harry, Ginny, and little Albus, and now we just got our first look at Ron, Hermione, and their daughter Rose as they will appear onstage. 

Paul Thornley will be playing Ron Weasley, Harry's best friend and notorious comic relief in the series. 

"It's 19 years later when the play begins,' Thornley explained in a Pottermore interview. "Ron is married to Hermione Granger and they're now the Granger-Weasleys. Our magnificent daughter Rose Granger-Weasley is about to start at Hogwarts, which is obviously a big day for everyone."

Hermione Granger will be played by award-winning actress Noma Dumezweni. 

Dumezweni has stepped into the role of Hermione seamlessly. "Being in full costume for the first time was stunning, because I went, 'Ahhh there you are,'" she said in a Pottermore interview.

When the "Harry Potter" play cast was announced in December, a charged conversation emerged about Hermione being portrayed by a black woman. J.K. Rowling chimed in, reminding fans she had never specified a race in her book canon. 

Last but not least, their daughter Rose will be portrayed by Cherrelle Skeete. 

"I can’t think about how big [the play is] or I’ll just faint," Cherrelle told Pottermore. "Putting on my uniform, ready to go to Hogwarts, and seeing everyone else in their uniform was exciting. I’ve been looking at it every day in the wardrobe department, waiting for the day I can get on the Hogwarts Express."

Author J.K. Rowling gave fans a bit more information about Rose and her characteristics. "Rose is like her mother, but more secure, more grounded," she told Pottermore. "She was born to wizards and knows her place in the world. Cherrelle plays her perfectly: bossy but deeply loveable."

According to the Pottermore announcement, a third and final set of images from the play's cast will be released tomorrow. Stay tuned and follow along with our coverage on Tech Insider.
